(EFA)Bartlett's test of Sphericity (Chi-square
412.103; sig. 0.000) Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) = 0.762Sample number were adequate. Five factors were drawn cumulatively
accounted 62.72 percent of the total variance. Statements with factor loadings greater than
0.5 were grouped in the corresponding factor.

Model Fit IndicesCMIN/DF = 2.315, GFI = 0.911CFI = 0.902RMSEA = 0.041RMR = 0.020 So, the model was fairly fitted (Byrne, 2001; Hair and
others, 1998; Joreskog and Sorbom, 1993). .

Validity and Reliability of the Model
Discriminant Validity AVE should be greater than 0.50 (Fornell & Larcker,
1981). AVE should be greater than MSV AVE should be greater than ASV.
Convergent Validity:Construct Reliability (CR) should be greater than 0.7 CR should be greater than AVE.
